    I mean when companies ask to enter via a link and liking and sharing plays no part in the entry process.

    These morons are actually reducing their chance of winning as by sharing more people enter...

    Thanks, this isn't a competition itself but a genuine question about how people treat them on Facebook etc.

    Because people who do it are 60 year olds who don't know how to use the source button on their remote control, never mind a laptop/tablet

    Plenty of 60 year olds are technologically savvy.

    I’d imagine it’s the brain dead ‘u ok hun’ types that can’t comprehend what the competition are. Occasionally I see competitions from 2-3 years ago appear on my FB feed, even after people have posted that the competition is long over they’ll still ‘like an share’.

    That's quite insulting to us over 60s. I'd wager the culprits are more likely to be millennials.
